Powerful, warm, humane, inspired, funny, hugely moving and gut-wrenchingly honest: these are some of the terms frequently used to describe a Vin Garbutt show. His own songs are inspired by the folk tradition but transformed into gritty social comment and thoughtful life observation, and he has a rare talent for finding equally strong songs by other writers.

Vin is renowned for his hilarious spoken introductions, but the songs and their lyrics remain the crux of his performance. His career has spanned more than 40 years of constant worldwide touring, making him an elder statesman of the folk scene, and the 'Teesside Troubadour' remains at the top of his game.
